(it didnt have enough volume to mix and because of the fast evap rate it kept dosing kalk instead of supersaturated water.) I decided to make this beast so it would decrease my burden of doing so,, plus with my calcium demand it keeps my ca at around 540ppm (along with my ca reactor)..I've had to fill this twice in the last 6 months.. plus i looked around for kalk reactors, and the cheapest unit i could find (used) was going for around $200.. and this was a 6 inch by 18 inch unit...it cost me less then $200 to build this bigger unit... The only thing i wish i had done was place a drain valve...i can still do it , but will wait until its time for a kalk refill...
Sure thing cameron...anyone one that wants a hand to build one, come on over.. ..
